It was an international hit that potentially brought Canada’s gang wars to tourist hotspots in Thailand.

The violence left one man dead and sparked an international manhunt for at least two suspects.

Vancouver Sun crime reporter Kim Bolan joins the show to discuss the victim’s links to Canada’s criminal underworld, what we know about the suspects, and what this assassination says about B.C.’s ongoing gang war.
